Bernadette Schoog in Conversation with Walter Sittler

Walter Sittler is known to audiences as a detective at the Swedish coast, as Dr. Schmidt in the Grimme Award-winning series "Nikola", and as hotel director Ronaldo Schäfer - roles through which he achieved cult status alongside Mariele Millowitsch. Beyond acting, he tours with readings, portrays Erich Kästner on theatre stages, and is actively engaged in society and politics to protect democracy.

A newspaper article once described him this way: "He combines compact, coarse-grained masculinity with elegance of movement and refinement of expression, creating a captivating male eroticism that should really have confined him to dramatic hero and lover roles. Yet this does not happen (...) because his own stature does not overwhelm him, because he has remained a joker and entertainer, despite seeming far too handsome and too straightforward for such roles."

On 20 October 2026, Walter Sittler takes the stage at Stadthalle Leonberg to speak with Bernadette Schoog about all of this.
